This session covers the documentation behind every neoplasm code: telling primary, secondary (metastatic), and personal history of malignancy apart, and what the provider must state to support each. We work through the Chapter 2 guidelines in real oncology scenarios, starting with cancer cells found at a second site, and practice reading oncology notes and decoding their abbreviations. Attendees leave able to select and sequence the correct neoplasm code and to write a clean query when the note falls short.

This webinar from VMG Health examines how AI tools are reshaping medical coding and claims auditing operations, and the compliance risks that come with them. Presenters Pam D’Apuzzon and Frank Cohen cover the shift from coder-as-generator to coder-as-curator, the "human-in-the-loop paradox" where biased human oversight can train AI to be biased more efficiently, and the regulatory exposure created under the 60-Day Rule and False Claims Act. The session closes with a four-pillar governance framework and concrete operational guardrails organizations can implement to keep AI-assisted coding defensible rather than a liability.

Heart failure coding is challenging because there are multiple classification systems, and getting the type and acuity right can swing both CC/MCC status and HCC risk adjustment significantly. Coders and CDI staff often see documentation that labels a patient as having "heart failure" without the clinical specificity needed to support accurate diagnosis coding.
